Abstract
The Art of Return is defined as the artistic feedback and the circulation of artists, works and models in the Atlantic area during the colonial period (16th-18th centuries). In this context, Mudejar Art played a leading role because, unlike other styles, its language did not end, perpetuating itself throughout the centuries (in some cases becoming the favorite covering method until the 20th century). During the Modern Age, the Canary Islands became an obligatory place of passage on this round trip made by ships, so relations between the archipelago and the New World were incessant and fruitful. In turn, the Viceroyalty of Peru is one of the American regions that concentrates the greatest wealth of polychrome Mudejar ceilings. With this research we intend to address both territories, the island and the Peruvian viceregal (with special emphasis on the Ecuadorian case), in an attempt to triangulate influences and establish differences and concomitance.
